F3H-2 Demon: Linking Eras

The F3H Demon is an early Cold War-era American naval fighter aircraft, developed by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation as the successor to the F2H Banshee. Arriving to the game as a new American jet fighter, the F3H Demon will be one of the many new additions awaiting seasoned War Thunder pilots in the upcoming major update!

In War Thunder, the F3H-2 Demon will be one of the exciting new additions awaiting seasoned pilots in the upcoming update. Coming to Rank VI of the American aviation tree, the F3H-2 will further enrich the top ranking US jet lineup with another versatile fighter aircraft, excelling at dogfights in particular, but also sparking a sense of unease with tankers in its presence.

The F3H-2 is powered by an Allison J71-A-2B turbojet engine, producing a maximum of 14,400 lbf (64 kN) with the afterburner engaged. As a result, the Demon can reach a top speed of 719 mph (~1157 kph) at a sea level. Additionally, the F3H-2 boasts a rather good climb rate of 14,350 fpm (72.9 m/s), allowing it to reach combat altitudes within a relatively short period of time.





The F3H-2 Demon is well on its way to joining the fight in War Thunder with the upcoming update and will become available to all pilots as a new Rank VI American jet fighter. Until then, keep a close watch on the horizon for more news regarding the next major update coming to the game in the near future. Safe flying and happy hunting pilots!
